First Harker Group to Reach Glacier Point
During this year’s Gr. 6 trip to Yosemite, middle school Spanish teacher Susan Moling’s hiking group became the first among Harker students to make the hike from their base camp to Glacier Point. The group started their hike at 9 a.m. and traveled approximately eight miles and climbed 3,200 feet over a period of five-and-a-half hours, taking short breaks along the way. After reaching the summit, the group took a bus back down, as walking back would have taken much too long. “We wouldn’t have made it back till 7 or 8 p.m.,” Moling said.
